Tottenham trainer Postecoglou has a sharp criticism of Timo Werner!

The German international Timo Werner once again had to take a bitter criticism from coach Poseteclou at the Premier League Club Tottenham Hotspur. After the 1-1 draw in the Europa League against the Glasgow Rangers, Postecoglou was disappointed with the performance of the 28-year-old: "He did not play close to the level at which he should have played," said the trainer, who added that this performance was "not acceptable" for him, especially if young players are on the pitch. In the first half, according to BBC, Werner lost the ball 16 times and came to a pass rate of only 69 percent. Postecoglou was forced to change him at halftime to bring fresh strength into play. This season Werner has only scored only one goal in 19 competitive games and is often only active as a substitute. The loan contract with RB Leipzig contains the option of a firm obligation, but the probability that Tottenham makes use of this is currently low, according to the report by Volksfreund .

The point win against the Rangers could be important for Tottenham in this Europa League season, since the team continues to fight for a place in the top eight. According to The New York Times , however, the Spurs were subject to the game and had to be sole dependent on the interference of Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic, to achieve the balance. These developments throw a light on the current injury crisis in the team, where important players like Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are missing. The lack of a stable competitive situation on the pitch meant that Tottenham was dependent on the counter game instead of actively shaping the game.

Postecoglou made it clear that the performance of his players, especially Werner, did not meet his expectations. Before the next league game against Southampton, the team urgently has to increase their performance in order to break through the negative trends. In view of the recurring problems on the offensive and the dependence on few key players, it will be crucial whether the games of the coming weeks can also bring really positive turning points.
